Length of a wire is 2l and its area of cross section is a. the wire is kept horizontally by fixing its two ends or two rigid supports. A weight W is suspended from its mid-point. IF the mid-point depresses by x `(x lt 1)` , then prove that `Y=(Wl^3)/(ax^3)`, [Young's modulus for the material of the wire].
